Yes its been discussed but its such a bizarre decision that you have to expect people to keep asking for your reasoning. You are taking the risk of adding a high stakes tournament and then going about it in such a cak-handed manner.
I think there is def a market for a HS game on Mondays, but make it a 500/320 (re-entry if you must) and stick a HS freezeout with at least a 50k gtee on a Tuesday.
Run affordable sats so recs can play and promote it as something special. It will be very popular, it will be a flagship tournament (A withered 1k re-entry with 20 people does not create excitement for the vast majority of people), it will earn you more money, it will raise the profile of the party MTT schedule.
Your answers only ever seem to be you're 'happy with it' but why? Whats the reasoning lol? And has the person who decided on the schedule even played an online tournament in the last 3 years?
My advice would be to employ a current grinder or 3 (varying stakes) as consultants to review the schedule/structures/sats. Take what you will from it, but it will be relevant and up to date info/opinion. Not just some guy sat at a 9-5 job looking at field numbers and making poor choices not based on actual playing experience.
Stars did it by employing and ex-grinder to manage the tournament schedule but you have an advantage as you have proven you're willing to make changes/take chances without the endless bureaucracy of Stars.
LOADS of negative publicity surrounding Stars atm and now is the time to take some action to capitalise on it and sweep up some loyal players that are unhappy with them.
